These data underlie the community profiles shown at https://sandpiper.qut.edu.au

The community profiles are in “unfilled SingleM condensed” format. You may wish to convert them to use relative abundances, etc. using singlem summarise --output-taxonomic-profile-with-extras, which operates without loading the entire profile into memory (unlike some other conversions of the summarise command). For more details and information, see https://wwood.github.io/singlem/tools/summarise.

As well as this, metadata files are provided, which contain the following columns (all are one run per row in the TSV/CSV)

parsed_metadata:

  1. run
  2. latitude
  3. longitude
  4. depth
  5. temperature
  6. collection_year
  7. collection_month

per_acc_summary:

  1. sample (i.e. run)
  2. root_coverage (total coverage of prokaryotes)
  3. species_coverage (coverage assigned to the species level)
  4. top1_order_fraction (fraction of coverage assigned to the most common order out of the total coverage assigned to order level)
  5. top3_order_fraction (total fraction of coverage assigned to the 3 most common orders out of the total coverage assigned to order level)
  6. low_complexity (yes/no/missing: yes if top1_order_fraction is > 95%, indicating that the sample may not be a true microbial community)
  7. known_species_fraction (coverage assigned to the species level compared to root_coverage, as a %)
  8. bacterial_archaeal_bases (estimated number of bases in reads that are prokaryotic, from SPF)
  9. metagenome_size (bp)
  10. singlem prokaryotic fraction (SPF)
  11. average_bacterial_archaeal_genome_size (AGS of prokaryotes)
  12. warning (whether singlem prokaryotic_fraction raised a warning)
  13. prediction (euk-host-associated or not? An ML prediction)
  14. host_or_not (annotated euk-host-association from the “organism” field if possible, or failing that, the ML prediction thereof)
  15. organism (official metadata of biosample)

kingfisher_metadata:

A tab-separated file containing biosample-related metadata downloaded for each run, generated using kingfisher annotate. It has many columns, because every submitter can create new kinds of metadata.

Changelog
